Geraint Thomas would like to come back to Tour de France in 2024: "I just want to get these three weeks done and see what happens"
Cycling
Geraint Thomas looks set for a return to the Tour de France in 2024, after his Ineos Grenadiers team supported his intention to ride the race once again.
Before the start of the current Vuelta a España, the 37-year-old told the media that though he was in the twilight of his career, "when it comes to the Tour de France next year, I think I just want to get these three weeks done and see what happens."

He added: "I would love to go back to the Tour, but as a leader and targeting it, we will see."
Speaking to Cycling Weekly at the start of the Vuelta, the team's deputy principal Rod Ellingworth said: "G, as I have said all along, is our team captain. He is the guy who leads the team from a rider's perspective, and not just with what he says but the way in which he is around the team, the way he trains, the way he does everything. He is a great leader. So we hope that he is going to do another couple of Tours de France."

"Things change and he feels as good as ever, really," Ellingworth continued. "He is still performing pretty well and I think the key thing is he's enjoying his racing. The key to that then is the group that is around him."
"The value that G brings around the team is exceptional, and if it's that alone that's fair enough for me, and I think he knows that and that's why he's performing. G puts enough pressure on himself, we don't need to put any pressure on him at all, as it is he who wants to perform."
